The van rolled to a stop and the door slid open. Chloe stepped out of the big black van. She stood curb side and looked at the asylum. It towered and seemed perfectly in place as though when the world was originally created -- whatever hand placed it right here amongst the trees that bordered the grounds.
The man that opened the door for her stood to her right and silently handed her a flier for the asylum. The flier read:
...
Dark Asylum :: Rehabilitation
Welcome!
You may be wondering why you're here... and that is completely understandable. Due to the recent tragic events that have happened out against our country the government has recruited young people here to deal with the problems from the bombs that hit our country over a year ago. After the bomb parents, teachers, and guardians were reporting strange behaviors amongst their young pupils in their lives. We are here to help you cope with any of these strange behaviors -- if needed. We know that during times like these things can happen to people on a weird and almost molecular level. All of the staff here at the Dark Asylum are here to help you and better rehabilitate you. So, on that note -- please put trust into the staff for they are trying to better understand any and all problems that have been presented by the tragedy. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Dark Asylum Staff
** Please, report to the asylum map on the right hand side of the door as you enter into the asylum and find Commons Room for orientation. No wandering will be tolerated at this time -- staff will be walking around and what not if you find it troubling to find the Commons Room. We will be starting orientation at 4pm sharp! Please be there.
Thank you very much!

Chloe noted the sternness of the flier. This wasn't going to be some play ground or amusement park. This was the real deal -- she was locked away from the real world as though she was the criminal. Never again to see her family -- nearly the only survivors in the whole city she was from.
She made her way to the front door of the huge towering asylum. Treading through the freshly mowed grass she got a sniff of summer time -- laying out on the lawn under the old willow tree by the lake -- even though it was nearly fall. Spotting the huge map the Commons Room seemed to be down the main hall and off to the right. She decided to go try and find herself a seat -- see all the other government declared freaks that had arrived before her.
When she entered the Commons room they had fold out tables set up facing towards a podium at the front. The podium was placed in front of a huge window that looked out over the what appeared to be the court yard. On the tables there were packets of papers that described the different rules of the asylum and what not. On the cover of each packet was the same "Welcome" letter she had gotten from her driver. She had found a seat towards the back left and decided she'd take a seat there.
What could they possible have to tell us? she thought to herself, Welcome to hell, please try hard not to kill yourselves.
Chloe realized her dry jokes weren't satisfying her. She took a seat and started thumbing through the packet of papers in front of her. It seemed to be just schedules, maps of the area, and forms that she needed to sign. There were pens taped to the table also. She picked it up and started signing the things she was being forced to agree to.
It mentioned psychiatric help and different appointments. In her mind she had already decided that this was no hospital -- it was a prison. Someplace where they kept the 'freaks'... but what were they all so afraid of? Or was it even fear that was controlling their actions? She couldn't figure it out and kept thumbing through the paperwork in front of her -- reading and signing. Waiting for the rest of the people to show up and get this little thing going.
